Fed up with sexist online abuse, conservative South Dakota Senate candidate Annette Bosworth gave a press conference in a room covered in sexist graffiti to make a point about how sexism is awful. On one hand, good. We can all fight sexism together no matter who we vote for straight ticket in the polls. On the other… »5/27/14 5:40pm 5/27/14 5:40pm

Hard Choices may be the title Hillary Clinton eventually settled on for her forthcoming memoirs, but the former Secretary of State said recently that another more fun title could have (and, in my humble opinion, should have) made the cut: The Scrunchie Chronicles. »5/27/14 12:00pm 5/27/14 12:00pm

During this election year, you can expect to see a change in tone in many political ads. If you're wondering if this means that they'll finally be less dumb, I'm sorry to disappoint; they are, unfortunately, going to get even more dumb, because conservative strategists have decided that the best way to reach ladies is… »5/12/14 6:15pm 5/12/14 6:15pm

At an event this morning, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton was asked what her "guilty pleasures" were. And the possible future first female President in American history replied, "I'm just trying to think of G-rated ones." Hillary Clinton is a spectacular freak. I knew it. »5/06/14 2:40pm 5/06/14 2:40pm

On yesterday's special Easter 420 edition of Meet the Press, hostDavid Gregory continued to harp on the bored pundit nonquestion of whether or not the birth of Hillary Clinton's grandchild will impact her decision to run or not run for President in 2016. Unfortunately, no one had the stones to respond, "I don't know,… »4/21/14 12:20pm 4/21/14 12:20pm

All that Hillary Clinton 2016 speculation just went from wishful political fanfic to political possibility, as the former Secretary of State and First Lady admitted yesterday that she's "thinking about" running for President. Everybody freak out! »4/09/14 2:40pm 4/09/14 2:40pm

Fox News shouting head Bill O'Reilly has finally made it to 1979 in his slog through American social progress, last night posing an important gotcha question to two female panelists: What's the downside to having a woman as President? I MEAN THERE'S GOTTA BE A DOWNSIDE! »2/27/14 5:45pm 2/27/14 5:45pm

Minnesota Congressman Michele Bachmann has issued her edict on the chances Hillary Clinton's theoretical campaign would have during a theoretical 2016 election: not good. Mostly because America simply isn't ready for a female President. I bet the schmucks who donated to Bachmann's 2012 Presidential campaign feel… »2/20/14 1:30pm 2/20/14 1:30pm

A bitter (and, quite frankly, kind of crazy-sounding) California ex-Congressman named Joe Baca gave a super unhinged interview today after the woman who won a congressional election against him announced she wouldn't run for reelection. He was mad. He was say-super-sexist-shit mad. »2/18/14 6:30pm 2/18/14 6:30pm

There's been lots of political yammer (yammer because it's definitely not dignified enough to merit being called "discussion" but it's not yet loud enough to be called "yelling") in recent days and weeks about women who have political ambition. People are concerned, really. Concerned that maybe the women who have… »2/18/14 3:40pm 2/18/14 3:40pm

Texas gubernatorial candidate and pro-choice It Girl Wendy Davis announced just last week that she'd raised over $12 million dollars over the second half of 2013. And, on Sunday, like clockwork, a Dallas paper ran a barbecued garbage "expose" that slammed her for being a bad mother. Texas-style sexism really sticks to… »1/21/14 7:20pm 1/21/14 7:20pm

Senator Kirsten Gillibrand, badass champion of women's rights as she is on the Senate floor, is often asked to dispense advice to woman when she's not on the Senate floor. Her most recent tidbit of impromptu advice, though, was a little... confusing. »1/21/14 10:40am 1/21/14 10:40am

This week's Time cover story is on Hillary Clinton's unannounced but somehow still unassailable candidacy for President. To illustrate this, they use a stock photo of a woman's heel nearly crushing a tiny hapless man. »1/16/14 5:15pm 1/16/14 5:15pm

Former President Bill Clinton, currently Clintoning around in China, told a rapt crowd of conventioneers that he hopes the next President is a woman. Gee, I wonder if Bill Clinton knows any women who might want to be President? Let me think. It's on the tip of my tongue. »11/18/13 10:35am 11/18/13 10:35am

Fetch the smelling salts, I'm about to pass out from shock — a new poll reveals that there is a big gap in attitudes between liberals and conservatives when it comes to the role women should play in the government. And— surprise of surprises — the group with the least forward-thinking view of all is conservative men. »10/29/13 5:15pm 10/29/13 5:15pm

Late last week, the DNC announced the formation of the Democratic Women's Alliance, a new program they say will work to encourage women to enter and stay in politics. It's been promoted, unsurprisingly, as a big F.U. to the those he-man woman haters in the Republican Party, as if the Democrats are creating a new team… »10/28/13 12:30pm 10/28/13 12:30pm

A columnist for conservative yellsite The Daily Caller has called Barack Obama "the first female President" like 1- it's a bad thing and 2- he came up with the idea. When did casual sexism get so boring? »8/21/13 10:50am 8/21/13 10:50am
